Charcuterie Board Christmas Tree
This Christmas tree charcuterie board is a festive and flexible appetizer idea built with a mix of cheeses, meats, fruits, and savory extras. It’s easy to assemble, fun to customize, and doubles as a holiday table centerpiece.
Ingredients
- 12 pretzel sticks
- 4 sprigs fresh rosemary
- 1 cup Monterey Jack cheese cubed
- 1 cup feta stuffed olives
- 2 ounces prosciutto
- 2/3 cup yellow cheddar cubed
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
- 1/2 cup perlini mozzarella balls drained
- 2 ounces salami
- 1/4 cup blue moon cheddar
- 2 slices medium cheddar cut into stars
- cranberries for garnish
Instructions
- Create a trunk at the bottom center of the board using pretzel sticks.
- Place rosemary sprigs horizontally above the pretzels to establish the tree's base.
- Layer the ingredients in rows above the rosemary, gradually decreasing the length of each row to shape the charcuterie into a triangular tree.
- Finish by topping the tree with a cheese star and garnishing with cranberries and additional rosemary sprigs.
Notes
- The quantities above serve as a guide for a 4-6 serving charcuterie tree. Adjust the quantities and ingredients to fit your guest count and personal preferences.
- If you're assembling the board ahead of time, cover it tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours. Add crackers, pretzels, and any cut fruit right before serving to keep everything fresh and crisp.
- Leftovers can be stored in separate airtight containers for 1–2 days, though softer cheeses and cut fruit are best enjoyed the same day.
